Report: Sixers to workout two guards in Landry Shamet, Dakota Mathias

After a busy week of pre-draft workouts for the Philadelphia 76ers, the team is keeping the ball rolling into the upcoming week. While we’re just days away from the 2018 NBA Draft, the Sixers have reportedly set two additional workouts with intriguing guard prospects.

Mathias improved in each of his four seasons with the Boilermakers, eventually posting career-highs across the board during the 2017-18 season. He wrapped up his final collegiate season by averaging 12 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

One of the strongest aspects of Mathias’ game is his outside shooting, as he made 45.3 percent or more of his 3-point attempts in each of the past two seasons.

The Sixers will follow up the workout with Mathias by bringing in Wichita State guard Landry Shamet on Tuesday, as Bryan Kalbrosky of Hoops Hype revealed.

Source: Wichita State's Landry Shamet, who'll be at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn, will have a workout with the Philadelphia 76ers on June 19. Could be in play when the Sixers are on the clock w/ the No. 26 pick.

As Kalbrosky points out, Shamet could be a late first-round pick potentially. He averaged 14.9 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game last season over 31.7 minutes. He’s also a solid outside shooter, making over 43.9 percent of his 3-point attempts in each of his final two seasons with the Shockers.
